Some Apple Watch Series 4 Models Are Frequently Crashing and Rebooting Due to a Daylight Saving Time Bug (macrumors.com)
Some Apple Watch Series 4 owners in Australia experienced crashes and reboots on Saturday due to a bug that surfaced because of the daylight saving time change. From a report: According to Reddit users hit by the Apple Watch bug, the root of the problem appears to be the Infograph Modular face's Activity complication, which displays a timeline graph with hourly data for the user's Move calories, Exercise minutes, and Stand hours. When daylight saving time (DST) lops an hour off the typical 24-hour day, the Activity complication is apparently unable to compute the change and draw the timeline graph with only 23 hours, which throws the Apple Watch into an endless reboot loop until the battery runs out.
DST doesn't end until November 4th.

Learn to internet, son. I found this link on the first page of search results for "apple watch bug list". When you figure out how to use google, you can stop asking so many stupid questions.
Unfortunately, the article you linked-to is NOT DATED, and the only reference to any date whatsoever was September 2017 and WatchOS 4.01; so there is no way to know for sure whether this is a list of already-addressed issues by the time WatchOS 5.0 (and the Apple Watch Series 4) came out a few weeks ago, or not.
Hint: Already-Addressed issues are no longer called "issues".
So, it seems that YOU are the one that needs to learn to internet.
